Question

9. Dagne measures and finds that she

can do a vertical jump that is 27.5%
of her height. If Dagne can jump
13.2 inches, how tall is she?

Answer 1

Answer; 47.27 Inches

Let the height of Dagne be x.

Now we are told that she can do a vertical jump that is 27.5% of her height. This is represented as 0.275x.

Now we are told the height she can jump is 13.2. Thus;

0.275x = 13.2

x = 13.2/0.275

x = 47.27 inches
